Cheers for sharing

Wow, thanks guys! I posted something about the photos to the photography thread.
Giles, the posts are actually more for the summertime, the path that leads to those islands is made of wood and the posts are keeping it put. It looks like this without the snow.

Great posts, and I agree, these strangely look great on you. White jeans are something that is really hard to pull off without looking like a complete ass, you, my friend, looking quite the opposite. I'm genuinely impressed and think they look smashing.

Thanks guys! Still not a fan of white jeans even though these are quite nice, just not my thing. I'm super happy that I've had the chance to be a part of the world tour, it's always fun to get to try stuff that you normally wouldn't get to.
Regarding sizing: These are sized exactly as my regular 634s:s, but they are a bit looser all over IMHO (haven't taken comparative measurements). Still quite the perfect fit for me. My natural waist is around 37" and I never had any initial discomfort regarding tightness with the (indigo) jeans when new, even buttoning was quite easy. Within a week or two the waist and thighs were perfect and all the rest didn't have to stretch much. Although I technically sized down I guess the natural stretch in the jeans compensates for that. The 38":s would definitely be too big.
Loghill's pics are always so nice, thanks for taking them man!
And regarding the next leg of the world tour, anyone willing to take the next leg in stead of ronaldsh? My plans are to take these with me to Barcelona over easter which means I'll get these on their way to the next guy in line by the end of week 14 (5th of april at the latest).

Sizing correctly means that you didn't just go by tag size, you go by the actual measurements. My TTS is 35 for my waist, but I wear one 34", one 35" and two 36". I was part of this WT, but since the sizing was like a half size bigger than the 634S, these were enormous on me. I was 2nd to wear them and the true waist was around 36.5"-37".

ronaldlsh, if in Sydney, hit me up
Probably heading to Melbourne and Brisbane/Perth. Went Sydney last year, and was really lucky to purchase a pair of 634S at half price!
Ah fair enough. Have a great trip anyhow!! ::). If you happen to know anywhere in Sydney still selling 1/2 price 634S' I'm all ears

Gotcha. I'm not that fussy but I do get your point.

I was supposed to take the white's for a bike ride at my trails today after work, but I couldn't comfortably fit my bibs underneath them so I had to pass on that. Went for the ride anyway (and forgot to take the camera so iphone pics will have to do
)The good thing with winter is that the trails are in superb shape, no roots or rocks, just blazing fast hard packed snow
(no ice either so no need for studded tyres).We have this huge forest that's located 5 km from where I live (it's actually a park but it's more like a forest) and there's loads of paths and trails to ride on. I did an 18 km ride today and it was absolutely beautiful - and the best part was that it's already so light in the early evening that I didn't have to put my lights on at all. Here are a couple of random pics along the way:
There's this cafe that's located in the park that I always stop by when on a ride. The donuts there are amazing!
Thanks for reading!
